@ctvnews: Australian Archie Wilson, who recently joined the Nebraska Huskers to play college football in the United States, got emotional when asked a question about his family during a press conference on Tuesday, August 12. Footage released by Nebraska Athletics shows the 19-year-old – who was still 18 as of August 12 – bursting into tears when asked how he coped with his family being far away. “That part’s hard,” Wilson said before apologizing and starting to cry. “I got two little brothers, and my mom and dad, and yeah, that’s the tough part about being here.” “I love them a lot and I miss them, but I mean, they know this is what’s best for me.” Wilson recently joined the University of Nebraska as a punter to pursue his NFL dream, according to Australian news reports. Wilson’s family said seeing him breaking down in tears was “hard to watch,” Nine reported. #ctvnews #news #usa

SWEET BABY CHILD. 😭 His parents have obviously done an extraordinary job. He loves his family so much and is so honest with his feelings, what a precious and heartbreaking thing to see.
